Lyrics

There will come a day not so far from today
When you won't come runnin' to me
To tell me 'bout your day, in your breathless little way

The frog you caught under the pier
The mud you put in your sister's ear
Tacklin' every life's adventure without an ounce of fear

I know I have to let you be free to fly
And I'm not supposed to doubt or question why
But let me lift you off the ground this one last time
And hold you in my arms like you're still five

Let me smell the fresh air and the forest in your hair
Tell me all about your dirt
And the wonders you found under the stairs

So many things to see and do
Those fire-breathing dragons you slew
In the backyard before watching Winnie the Pooh

I know I have to let you be free to fly
And I'm not supposed to doubt or question why
But let me lift you off the ground this one last time
And hold you in my arms like you're still five

It's just your old Dad rambling but I hope that you can see
Every time I lift you off the ground you're really lifting me

You've grown so big and strong, it's what I hoped for all along
Young man on his own two feet
Trying not to do it wrong, to just belong

These Dad trials have been worthwhile
But what would really make me smile
Is let your old man lift you off the ground every once in a while

I know I have to let you be free to fly
And I'm not supposed to doubt or question why
But let me lift you off the ground this one last time
And hold you in my arms like you're still five
And hold you in my arms like you're still five
